How do I know the dataset name to extend a report object?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Roberto Suarez Alemany 42

I am trying to extend the built-in report "Aged Account Receivable" but I don't know where to find the dataset name. 

The field that I need to add is the 'Document Date' beside 'Due Date'. 

Thanks in advance,

    You can directly extend the report, before that go through the standard report, identify the right place where you want to add your new field.
